The Eaton Dancing Assembly hell
it's first meeting in Opera House las
Thursday evening. The Assembly i
composed of about fifty of our youns
people, and it's future promises to be
grand success. Prof. Custer and TIL,
famous Harper Rocco furnish the music
for the meetings.

Nothing sounds more pitifu1 than the
neigh of a horse in the still hours of
night as he stands paving in the cold
and snow while the master coasts his
| shins by a warm stove in a saloon or
gossiping in some grocery. If such in
human creatures could be tied on the
streets with their faithful. friend, their
horse, for one night only, it would GER
tainly arouse within thema sympathetic
feeling which would, at least, prompt
them to give their horses shelter from
the frigid blast of the winter nights.
Turn out and patronize the Lyons
Comedy Company, at the Opera House
all this week and a matinee on Satur-
day. 1t is a good Company, decidedly
one of the best that has entertained the
people of Eaton for a long time, besides
the make up of it are all gentlemen who
know how to be gentlemen. Don't think
because the admission fee is cheap that
it is a cheap concern. It is not. 1t
equals any of our f%ifty-cent theatres
and is superior to many that have show
ed among is.
The wonderful popularity attained
by Hoods Calendar last year, will be
repeated by Hoods Household Calen-
dar-A1manac for 1887, just published.
A happier combination of calendar and
almanac, of beauty and utility, of art
and advertising, has seldom been pro-
duced. The lovely child's head, litho-
graphed in many delicate c%olors, will
be welcome anywhere, while the pad is
a wonder of condensed, useful informa-
ton. Copies may be obtained of the
druggists, or by sending six cents in
stamps for one copy, or ten cents for
two, to c. L. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.

We look over the year; its history is
written in wrecks and failures, perhaps,
and yet, in Gods accounting, human
estimates make for little. When we
have done all we possibly can, of unset
fishness, of charitableness, of magma.

to be altogether Improbable. But
usefulness in the world is not measured
by the magnitude of u achievements.
Many of us have met all tf1e pillows of
adverse fortunes, and are still almost
hopelessly struggling for life amid the
pitiless waves. We look about is and
we see sin in high places, We see hypo-
crisy exalted; we see virtue and chas-
tity at a discount; we fret at our own
misdeeds, at our inability to rise above
the degrading tendencies of inheritance
and of environment.

Laughlin was the purchaser. The bid
ding between 1.-TWO of our best heeled
citizens for the property on Main street
at nearly $4,000 per foot, shows the
confidence our nj jed men have in well
located property III Eaton. There has
been a gradual and steady upward ten
dency in the value of property in our
town for the past twenty-five years,
particularly on Main and Barron streets.
We have heard that common nuisance,
the "grumbler," say years ago that the
prices paid for Eaton property was too
high, but to-day the same property can't
be cashed at so to 100 per cent. advance
over original cost. This is especially
true in the purchase of business prop
erty, and it will continue as the de-
mands for business rooms will increase
with trade and business. We must not
sit down and fold our hands and give
ear to the old chronic grumbiers, but go
forward as we have in the past twenty
